Has anyone seen this message before and know of a resolution? Google is not being much help. Thanks!

If it's not a problem, can you show us the content of the half-hidden window (with the address) ?

[Edit] Typo

Oh, it's an IP of a known/working headless server i'd rather not publish publicly. (It's a valid/public IP, if that's what you are wondering?).

It's not address specific problem if you're wondering that as well - I've got the same thing running lan tests as well (192.168.2.24)

Yeah I had in thought that maybe there could be a hard to see typo in the IP address or port number (if there is one).

Is "H:" drive a network drive, or maybe detachable storage?
Maybe try running as administrator (this could be some Windows security feature, not allowing Factorio to create a socket from some reason).

Sillyfly:

H: Is just another SSD where my steam library sits. Everything else on it runs ok.
I run steam as admin to avoid other issues, so in theory every steam starts should be run as admin. That said, I've definitely tried executing the Factorio exe as admin with the same result.

Koub:

Yep, understood. It's a valid ip. I wish it was that simple!

Odd. I got it working. I guess something messed up with the IP stack on my side.

In case anyone else runs into this,

Code: Select all

netsh winsock reset catalog 
netsh int ipv4 reset reset.log
netsh int ipv6 reset reset.log

Resets your winsock and ip stacks.
